I am extremely fortunate to be acquainted with an honest computer repair person. A few days ago I detected an odor of what appeared to be burning electrical wires coming from my computer. I called Ken and he suggested that perhaps the power supply had burned out, and that it would be a minor repair, roughly $50. I left the machine with him for a day.
Ken called back and reported that he had checked over my computer and it had been running for several hours with no problem. When I picked up the machine, I was overjoyed to learn that there would be no charge. He advised me to monitor the other components I had plugged in, such as the monitor, modem, and power bar to determine the source of the odor.
Before you call someone to repair your computer, ask around for the names of reliable, trustworthy repair people. Don’t take your computer to a stranger as the people did in the CBC TV Marketplace video at the link below:
